Golf On July 4th
Forty-five people entered the “blind bogey’* golf tour
nament at the Country Club Thursday. July 4th, and appro
ximately sixty-five people played golf on the course that day.
All of this proves that golf is becoming very popular in
this city and county. The course was crowded with good
golfers, fair golfers, poor golfers and really bad golfers, but
everyone had a big time and went home well pleased with
the day.
Rain in the morning made quite a few feel “down in the
dumps’’ as it looked like there would be rain the entire day.
However, it cleared up by one o’clock and everything went
into full swing including baseball, golf and picnics.

White Hope ?
Maynard Daniels, Manteo’s contribution to the prize
ring, captured a close 10-round decision over Young Alien,
Georgia boy, before a turnout of more than 599 fans at Man
teo on July 4.
Daniels, who fights out of Washington and is billed as
the “U. S. Marine Corps’ bid for heavyweight honors," offer
ed a good left hand but was wild in trying to land telling
blows with his right. Allen proved to be a good defensive
fighter.
Although rainy weather cut down the crowd, truck loads
of fans from many seacoast communities came.
A number of people think that Daniels is the man who
will beat Joe Louis. At the present time he is little more than
a promising boxer, but he does seem to have something that
might take him somewhere.

We Only Hope
This writer hopes that Jack Dempsey has ended his box
ing career and that he never makes another serious attempt
to box again.
We had much rather be able to tell the younger gener
ation about all the fights he won and not have to mention a
comeback attempt.

Holding Up Well
Big league baseball proved holiday entertainment Thurs
day for 214,743 fans with more than half of all this number
jamming two parks to see the headline battles for first place.
The largest turnout was 57,633 at Briggs Stadium, De
troit, where the Cleveland Indians split a doubleheader to
retain control of the American League. It was the biggest
throng ever to see a ball game there.
Another capacity crowd of 54,306 filled the Polo grounds
in New York to see the Brooklyn Dodgers sweep two contests
and continue in front in the National League.
All of this goes to prove that in spite of the fact that
baseball teams see action about every day, it is still a popu
lar sport. We often wonder if football attendance would hold
up as well if there were as many games played as in baseball.
More Refugees
Coming To Wake
Forest Haven
Wake Forest, July 6 The po
tential number of British refugees
in Wake Forest advanced by three
this week with receipt of a cable
gram from Mrs. Emilie Taylor
Holmes, American-born wife of a
British Naval officer, saying that
she and their two children were
about to sail for the United States.
Mrs. Holmes is a cousin of Dr.
C. C. Crittenden of Raleigh, and
is also related to Mrs. E. B. Earn
shaw and Mrs. E. T. Crittenden,
both of Wake Forest. Until now
a resident of Droxford, England,
she cabled that she and the child
ren would arrive on the Liner
Washington.
Dr. Crittenden said his relativ
es in Wake Forest would receive
the refugee family for the war’s
duration.
Wake Forest became a center
several weeks ago for making
plans to receive British refugees.
The Don Johnston and L. D.
Smart families announced inten
tions to receive personal friends
or relatives from England.
A group of citizens led by Dr.
J. A. Easley of the school of re
ligion is endeavoring to take in
a group of 25 British children.
Homes have been pledged for
them, but immigration details
have not been worked out.
The State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare, meeting ia
Raleigh recently, asked all North
Carolina communities to hold
their refugee plans in abeyance
until assurances could be made
that the children would not be
PERSON
SPORTS
come public charges.
The board’s request specifically
exempted children with close re
latives or friends in the State.
Dr. Easley said yesterday that
he had read a set of regulations
propounded by the children’s
bureau in Washington, outlining
conditions for placing refugee
children.
He said he interpreted the re
gulations as prohibiting volunteer
committees, agencies and dele
gated this function to state wel
fare boards or recognized wel
fare agencies designated by them.
This, he said, would prevent the
type of group immigration his
committee had in mind, making
it necessary to handle each case
individually through the State
Board of Charities and Public
Welfare, but would not affect the
plans of the Johnston, Smart, and
Crittenden families.
o
Joe Louis To Cut
Down On Defenses
Os Championship
New York, July 5 Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis will
make but two defenses of his ti
tlein 1941, his co-managers, John
Roxborough and Julian Black an
nounced today. Both defenses will
be in outdoor bouts.
That procedure will be followed
each year thereafter, as long as
he holds the crown. The co-man
agers believe that too many Louis
defenses have tended to “cheapen
the title and lessen the gates.”

rark Dedication
Will Be Touch and
Go’ Ceremony
Washington, July 5 - The rie- 1
dication of the Great Smoky ■
Mountain National Park will be
atouch and go affair decided on
the spur of the moment and run
off as swiftly as a train can get
President Roosevelt from the Ca- j
pital to the Smokies. ,
Nobody knows or has any idea j
when that will be, but the Nat- ,
ional Park Service is expecting ,
it at any moment, according to A.
E. Demaray, associate director of j
the service and active promoter
of the park.
Asked today if the dedication j
would be held up indefinitely for t
the President, Demaray reported (
that it would, since Mr. Roosevelt
had shown an expressed desire (
to dedicate the park.
“The chances are it will be a
lightning action,” Demaray said,
“and there will barely be more
than enough time to get the prin
cipal figures of the dedication to
gether.”
This was explained, of course,
as a necessity due to the threat
ening and ever-changing scenes
in Europe as well as to the con
tinually increasing demands on
the domestic front concerning
rational defense. Until Hitler and
the British fleet and Soviet Rus
sia and American legislation ex
perienced a temporary lull in their
actions simultaneously, or the Pre
sident can sandwich in the time
for it, there will be no dedication.

LUCK NO BETTER
Hemp, July 5 Clifford Bar
nes, young Carthage man, is in
Moore County Hispital, Pinehurst,
recovering from an operation for
the removal of 12 brass thumb
tacks from his stomach and six
from his intestines.
Young Barnes, who was work
ing in a Carthage store, was
holding the tacks in his mouth
while putting up some signs.
Someone entered and spoke to
him and with his attention divert
ed ,he began to answer and swal
lowed the tacks.
Hospital experiences are not
new to Barnes, for during the
past year he has had more
than his share of ill luck. He at
tended Pfeiffer Junior college,
Misenheimer, last year, and in
September fell from a diving
board and injured his back. His
physician warned him to be ex
tremely careful on this account.
A short while later he slipped on
icy pavement. At Easter he was
struck by an automobile. Young
Barnes is a son of Mr. and Mis.
C. F. Barnes of Carthage.
